Great location right on the beach. Very family friendly, not overly crowded in the restaurant or the pool. Staff was very friendly, responsive, and accommodating.

Room service options were limited and you had to call to have your plates taken when you were done.

We had an oceanfront room with balcony which was great. While we like being on the ocean we’re not sun lovers per se so being in the shade but able to see the beach and ocean (through the trees) was nice. It also meant we didn’t need to use a beach chair very often (which were plentiful but could be busy). Staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. Food and beverage were both good, but a bit pricey. Appreciated the happy hour 1/2 price drinks.

The facility needs a few repairs (e.g., the curtain on one of our windows didn’t close; some of the cement steps on the staircases are crumbling).

We loved the location! The property is right on the beach yet has feel of being in a lush rainforest. There were a pair of monkeys that made an appearance in the trees every morning and every evening. We also loved the airy quality of the hotel, which includes the restaurant, reception and the rooms. The restaurant was my favorite of all the places we ate while in Costa Rica. A nice variety and consistently delicious! The stars of this hotel are the staff. We found them all to be friendly, helpful and most importantly, unrushed. We were sad to leave our new friends!

there wasn’t much about the property we didn’t like!

This hotel was the definition of a dreamy escape! They had everything we needed, standup paddle boarding, extremely knowledgeable english speaking friendly staff, and an amazing restaurant. We saw monkey's everyday! All of the rooms are nestled amongst the trees but the beach is only steps away - it is the perfect combination. We went offsite for dinner only one night because the restaurant was so good, we wanted to eat at the hotel! The sunsets were perfect. We also got massages from the hotel and they were out of this world - the best we've ever had (and we get many)!

We loved the monkeys but in the morning, they are loud. If you're serious about your sleep, it can be disruptive but it should be a special and unique experience!

We had a great time! The staff was so sweet and accommodating! The restaurant staff was beyond exceptional. The rooms were clean and the beach was beautiful! The beach is second to none, it was never super crowded and the temperature was perfect. We even got to see some eagle rays glide past us! The pool is great, perfect for kids.

The wifi was spotty at times in the room, but that just reminded me to get off my phone and get to the beach. There’s a little gap between the door and the floor so there were some bugs in the room, but that wasn’t a big deal.

Beautiful spot right on the beach with an open air restaurant and bar. Grounds were lush. Beach had very few people each day. The staff were incredibly friendly. Johnathan was so kind to our children at dinner and encouraged them to speak Spanish. Alexis greeted us every morning at breakfast and shared about their culture. Roy arranged some great tours for us. Jairo was the most kind and attentive person.

The elevator in our building did not work

The hotel was amazing. When we checked in, we were greeted with a delightful fruit drink before being shown our rooms. To say our rooms were spacious is an understatement. My husband and I had a garden view room, and it was huge: a large walk in shower, couch sofa, two queen beds, a deck, two tvs, fridge, coffee maker, etc. The location could not have been better. It was a five (or less) minute walk to the beach, a somewhat secluded bay, with gorgeous sunsets. The food at the hotel was excellent; we enjoyed breakfast and happy hour with a light supper almost every day we were there. Highly recommend.

Nothing.

Beachside location, garden, size, not far from the airport, large room with pleasant sea view, large bed, strong aircon, friendly, helpful staff, happy hour in upstairs bar

A bir isolated. No minibar, snacks, tea or bottled water available in the room, no clothes line or drying rack in the room while having a rule of not hanging wet bathers etc on verandah; small pool, “outdoor hot tub” in fact an outdoor bath with no hot water! A bit pricey, breakfast extra.

The staff at the hotel were wonderful. Everyone went the extra mile to assure that we truly enjoyed our visit. Restaurant was excellent- with wonderful local cuisine. We would certainly recommend the Bosque for a wonderful beach hotel experience.

There was a wedding on the beach during our stay - the party lasted into the wee hours of the night. We understand that these folks love to party- it was a bit noisy but- we understood.

We had a wonderful experience at Bosque Del Mar and the staff was lovely. We loved the cool and comfortable hotel rooms and the shaded pool area. The beach was lovely and we lucked out with amazing weather!

The beach chairs could be a little more comfortable, but we still spent a lot of time in them!
